Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. Whew, that was a long one. I was a little surprised at just how many ingredients were in this 1 oz container. Did you know it even includes a little gold? This contributing to the high price tag along with the ample extracts. Have you tried La Mer? I would love to hear your #lipsmack - comment below!
